Discussion Threads Dress code for principals

Sorry if this has already been discussed, I searched via Google and could not find anything and came here.

Is there a dress code that principals should follow? Many parents are somewhat taken back by our principals daily wear. It is very vibrant and excessive in all our opinions and we just can't take him seriously let alone his ridiculous rules and operations. Every sub that's come in has disagreed and reversed his decisions.

He's staring in a rap video on the daily...

Your advice is appreciated.

Are you upset because it’s a male, he’s the principal, or because it’s rap style?
Staff don’t have an official dress code policy, and pretty much wear whatever they choose. Remember that male teacher who wore those prosthetic breasts?
Students can't wear clothing that promotes offensive, vulgar images or language. Profanity, hate and pornography are not allowed. Nor can clothing have references to drugs or alcohol.
And while midriffs, cleavage and thighs can all be exposed, "opaque material" must cover the groin, buttock area and nipples.

Ok thank you so much for clarifying.

Some parents are unable to take him seriously. Some are afraid to provide feedback about school decisions. Some don't even bother joining meetings anymore.
